My newest build is the Mg Kampfer,

it’s a little dated as far as the build quality went, but after I figured out the kinks and tricks for the older kit it was a great build!

Model Kit Build: "Cup Gunpla RX-78-2" by Bandai and Cup Noodle

It's time to get... noodly?

Yup, it's an actual, officially licensed Cup Noodle container with a tiny Gunpla inside to build!

These were special Gundam 40th anniversary promos.

Oh my god. This is everything! The sprues, the instructions, and the stickers.

It's so goddamn adorable!

Everything is miniature up in here. Please notice how small the eye sticker is. Thankfully, I've got these razor-sharp tweezers in my kit!

Torso shot! It only took about 10 minutes to get this far, and I was taking my time. :P

And here it is in its full, itty-bitty glory, complete with Cup Noodle logo on the shoulder armor. :)

This was definitely a fun little kit to snap together. An entry grade entry grade, if that was a thing. One step above a gacha toy.

I just imagine a cool little kid in Japan getting a surprise with dinner one night and getting to put together a Gunpla before bed.

Or maybe it was some grown-ass otaku like me instead who went out and bought every possible variation and spent a night putting them all together in a row while eating multiple cups of noodles.

Posing it on top of the cup here so I can show the size comparison.

Super neato. :)

So I've been busy

A very pretty Varguil from Moon Gundam. The results of on and off months of work and a lot of new techniques learned on the fly and practiced on a Pban lmao. Scribing, topcoating, the most waterslide decals I've ever done, a lot of panel lining, polishing, light painted color correction, and straight up drilling the kit for those Sazabi funnel effects. Yeah I MADE those fit. Without measuring. Just eyeballed it and risked trashing the backpack and funnels and IT JUST WORKED.

This turned out astonishingly good despite all the risks and mistakes. I'm so happy.

I need something simple to work on. We'll see what's next!

Model Kit Build: "Gundam Heavyarms Ver. Endless Waltz" by Bandai

Awwwwww yissss. I've been so excited to build this one.

I really dig the transformable pieces on this kit. You'll see what I mean here in a bit!

First of all, a quick look at all the sprues - lots and lots of pieces. A good chunk of color on this one!

You'll have to enlarge these to see, but I always love that you get to take the pilot and build the entire cockpit around them as the first step for Master Grade kits.

It's not easy (even with the opening door) to see the pilot later, and folks that don't build might not even know that the pilot is hiding away in the chest. It's still satisfying to me to get them in there. :)

The classic torso shot, but also one for the waist/skirt. I absolutely love the white, yellow, and red colors on this unit. It's gorgeous! A little splash of blue, too.

Here is something I put together to show the impressive mechanics of a Master Grade - You have to put together skeletal/mechanical moving parts first, and then you add the armor pieces on top of those frames.

The top piece is the final unit's leg from thigh to ankle, bent at the knee. The bottom piece is the same thing, but only the mechanical parts within. For reference, the piece on the bottom is 9-12 parts (I forget) put together. The armor on top adds around 23 additional pieces!

The ammo belt for the giant chaingun took awhile - Had to get all these pieces snipped and facing the right way, threaded on the rubber strip in the middle.

Here is the final result, fed into the fully built chaingun and ammo backback, showing off the shiny "gunmetal" color/finish from the sprue.

Goodness sakes. Lots and lots and lots and lots of tiny decals to put on this sucker. That Master Grade kit life.

The final result, with no weapons active! Argh, it's so gorgeous, I love it! What a colorful one this is. Very big samurai feel. Awesome shape and form.

But wait... There's more! Let's transform all the parts and get this sucker fully armed - the whole reason I wanted this ridiculous kit to begin with:

Hell yes!

Look at all the missile compartments! The giant, swinging army knife! That big ol' gatling! The chest cannons! This is just pure, awesome overkill.

Funny thing is, you can actually buy more kits to build on top of this to add even MORE missile racks and dual quad gatlings! Yes, 8 gatlings total... I might upgrade this guy someday. For now, though... it's super rad already.

If Rain Mikamura has a million fans, I’m one of them. If Rain Mikamura has ten fans, I’m one of them. If Rain Mikamura has only one fan, that one is me. If Rain Mikamura has no fans, I’m no longer alive.

Happy (late) Witch from Mercury 2nd anniversary!

Here's my sulemio (and my very first) diorama.

Loved making those tomato plants from scratch tbh.

Scavenging different kits for their stands cause I’m an AoZ girly and most of these need stands to even think about staying upright so it’s a nice excuse to repose some of my kits:)
